The two inspected the area and arrived at the waste disposal area, where people were busy moving very large containers.

Yu Fu stopped and asked, "Brother Sun, what are they doing?"

"The scrap materials that were sold off."

"What's the use of waste?"

"Our factory has strict quality requirements, and unqualified products cannot be sold on the market. However, small factories outside process waste materials and sell them cheaply to units that need them."

"That's good. It generates revenue for the factory, which is better than waste."

Sun Jianwei stood in the scrap yard for a while, then was about to leave when Zhao Weiguo came out and called out enthusiastically, "Old Sun, here for the inspection!"

"Yes, it's the new guy, Yu Fu, showing him around." Sun Jianwei forced a smile.

"A new person joined the security department again? Yu Fu, hello, my name is Zhao Weiguo, from the epoxy resin workshop." Zhao Weiguo greeted him.

Yu Fu smiled awkwardly: "Hello!"

"Did you come from the army after being discharged?"

The security department is staffed either by replacements or by demobilized soldiers.

"Yes, I've only been here for three days," Yu Fu chuckled.

"The security department is a good unit, easy work and good benefits. I want to join the security department, but unfortunately Section Chief Lin doesn't want me." Zhao Weiguo smiled and glanced at Sun Jianwei.

Sun Jianwei tugged at Yu Fu and said, "Let's go."

"Old Sun, let's go to Jufeng Restaurant for drinks next time."

Sun Jianwei pulled Yu Fu along faster and faster, and couldn't help but curse, "lackey."

"Brother Sun, what's wrong?"

"This Zhao Weiguo is Lin Jie's lackey. When one person attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs benefit from it; he is the dog."

"Brother Sun, is the security department that complicated?"

"Yu Fu, after all, you know Lin Jie, so why would he ask me to take you under my wing?"

"I... I'm fine with whoever takes me under their wing. Brother Sun has a very generous personality, and I'm very happy following you."

"Fool, you'll only have a good life if you follow Luo Jianming. If you follow me, all you'll do is swallow your pride and be ridiculed, with no bonuses and a fixed salary of 42 yuan a month."

"Isn't 42 yuan a lot?"

Yu Fu worked in the logistics department, receiving a monthly allowance of eighteen yuan. He traveled around giving speeches with Zhou Wenhui, who subsidized him with several hundred yuan.

Being temporarily transferred to the Zhou family only paid eighteen yuan, but the food and drink were much better than in the logistics department, and it was much easier.

For Yu Fu, a stable monthly income of 42 yuan is an astronomical figure.

"Alright, it's almost lunchtime, let's go back."

At noon, Yu Fu ordered one meat dish, one vegetable dish, and four ounces of rice, which cost a total of 42 cents.

He calculated in his mind that breakfast cost five cents, lunch cost eighty-two cents, which would be eighty-four cents a day, and at least 25 yuan a month.

So, 42 yuan doesn't seem like much.

The security personnel who were eating split into two groups: one group followed Luo Jianming, and the other group followed Sun Jianwei.

Luo Jianming and his group were clearly eating very well, with two meat dishes and one vegetable dish per meal.

"With that kind of eating, can they save any money at the end of the month?" Yu Fu asked Sun Jianwei in a low voice.

"The better people eat, the richer they are," Sun Jianwei said, shoveling rice into his mouth.

"How could that be? An extra meat dish costs three cents more."

"Zhao Weiguo invited us to dinner at Jufeng Restaurant. Have you been there before?"

"I don't have to pay for meals in the army, why would I spend money?" Yu Fu said with a simple and honest smile.

"A braised fish at Jufeng Restaurant costs more than twenty yuan."

"Wow, Huailin has such a nice restaurant? Zhao Weiguo's salary isn't high, is it? Can he afford it?"

"Hehe, hurry up and eat, then go back and take a nap."

Sun Jianwei didn't say much more and started shoveling rice into his mouth.

Yu Fu was quite worldly-wise; he had eaten delicious food and stayed in nice guesthouses while accompanying Zhou Wenhui on his lectures.

Later, he helped out at the Zhou family's place, and his food and drink were much better than those of ordinary families.

But the Zhou family had never been to Jufeng Restaurant.

There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding.

On Saturday evening, Yu Fu returned to the Zhou family home.

"Xiaowei, Xiaowei..."

Yu Fu started calling out as soon as he was at the gate. Xiao Wei, who had just returned from the nursery, ran to greet Yu Fu: "Uncle Yu Fu, where have you been? My dog ​​and I missed you."

Yu Fu hugged Xiao Wei and kissed him repeatedly: "Uncle missed you too. Come on, let's go see the puppy."

"Yu Fu, you're back. We'll have duck for dinner. You don't know how hard it is to buy a duck. Xiao Liu went to the countryside to ask around for me. This duck stopped laying eggs, so the owner was willing to sell it. We'll stew it with some pickled vegetables. Oh, it'll be so appetizing!"

Hu Xiaomei muttered to herself as usual, while Yu Fu took Xiao Wei to the backyard to see the puppy.

"This is Grandpa Pu, this is Hao Hao's mom, and this is Xiao Huang's son, my good friend," Zhou Xiaowei introduced, pawing at the puppy.

"Xiaowei, does your grandfather agree to this name?" Yu Fu looked at Zhou Xiaowei in astonishment.

"I agree. Grandpa Pu is gone, and Grandpa is sad. But with the puppy, Grandpa won't be sad anymore," Xiao Wei said earnestly.

"But... what about Grandpa Pu, who's the commander?"

If Commander Pu's son knew that Governor Zhou had placed his affections on a little dog, he would probably be angry.

"Some people turn into dragonflies to go home, some people turn into butterflies to go home, so why can't they turn into puppies to go home?" Zhou Xiaowei asked, tilting his head.

Yu Fu swallowed hard and said, "Okay, Grandpa Pu passed away and became a puppy to keep Governor Zhou company. But Hao Hao's mother is still here, so why did she become a puppy too?"

Zhou Xiaowei sighed deeply, and said like a profound old man, "Hao Hao's mother doesn't want him anymore. He's very sad. Now that he has a puppy, he'll have company."

That seems to make sense. In the end, a puppy is just a form of emotional support.

"Xiaowei, I'm lonely living in the dormitory. How about you give me one? I'll think of it as Xiaowei keeping me company," Yu Fu joked.

Are you... are you very sad?

"Not being sad is loneliness."

Why don't you go home?

"My uncle has a new job, so he can only come back on Saturday nights. He has to go back tomorrow night."

"Do you bring Xiao Dou home to see his mother every week?"

"Yes, you can."

Xiao Dou is the name Xiao Wei gave to his last puppy. Xiao Wei and Xiao Dou are like brothers.

"Okay, you have to take good care of him. He just can't talk, but he understands everything."

"Okay, thank you, Xiaowei."

Yu Fu was indeed very lonely in the dormitory.

He also developed a deep affection for the dog while taking care of Xiao Huang at the Zhou family home.

Zhou Xiaowei's three puppies were all given away, but fortunately, he still has his grandfather's dog and Xiao Huang's mother to keep him company.

In the evening, those who went to work or school went home, and they didn't show much enthusiasm when they saw Yu Fu, just like children going to work and coming home.

However, Qiaoqiao specifically reminded Hu Xiaomei that she should cook a big dish every Saturday from now on.

No matter how delicious the food in the cafeteria is, it's not oily enough. Yu Fu needs to get some extra nutrition.

This family has a place for Yu Fu.

Yu Fu had gotten used to this family and they got along well. He was quite free after not seeing Zhou Xiaowei for a few days.
